Anyone here have any experience with VLKs and dealing with Microsoft re: them? My boss and I (we're a small computer repair/boutique shop) have a Windows 7 VLK that we'd like to upgrade to Windows 10 when the time comes. Is it as simple as calling them up, saying "update our VLK to 10," and that's it, or is there something more involved? I have a nagging feeling that getting an upgrade for our VLK is going to cost money but I can't find anything about this. E: I'm finding stuff claiming that Windows 7 Enterprise isn't part of the free upgrade which makes sense, but our VLK is Windows 7 Professional.

It froze on me right after I got to the desktop for the first time after the update, but after rebooting it seems fine. Though the Netflix app is still bugging out a bit. The controls work again, but periodically video playback stops while the audio continues and then the video jerkily speeds up to catch up with the audio, gets back in sync for a few minutes, then repeats the process.

I got a question, but when Window 10 is officially out in a few weeks, what happens to the beta users? Do they need to revert to a previous OS to use the full Windows 10? Right now my spare PC is running Windows 10, and while I do have my Window 7 serial key for it elsewhere, it would be annoying to reinstall Window 7 to upgrade back to Window 10 again. [edit] Should had just googled that to find out you get upgraded for free.

Is the Calendar app like, not supposed to sync with anything? I added my gmail calendar to it and then added a bunch of other stuff, but there doesn't seem to be a way to get what I've added to sync to anything else. I have Sunrise on my Nexus 5 and adding my Outlook account just adds my Outlook stuff, which appears to be nothing. Strangely, I have two Microsoft calendars on the Calendar app: Outlook and Microsoft Account. Which is... odd, since they're one in the same. I booted up Outlook 2013 for shits and giggles and even that doesn't pull int the stuff I've added to Calendar. What gives? e: I should mention I'm still on build 10130.

Well the latest is that you can still stay in the Windows Insider program and get the full Windows 10 Professional and then get regular updates but those are beta version updates like you get now on the Insider Preview. Currently to get out of Windows Insider you will have to install Windows 7,8 or 8.1 then upgrade to Windows 10 but MS might change that policy.

Can't you just change your product key to the 7/8.x one and then opt out of the Insider program, once you have the RTM build installed? I intend to get a Win10 license and try exactly that.

To be clear you do not get a valid key for Windows 10, you stay with evaluation keys so each build will expire, but by that time a new build of 10 should be available for previewing with it's own evaluation key and expiration.

Many organizations turn off UAC via domain policy for various reasons and they are not going to change their stance just to be able to run some metro apps. Thankfully the settings app still works and everything else I do is exclusively in desktop apps. There goes any chance MS had of selling metro apps in a business environment.

I can't exactly put in to words why this is, but now what Metro apps can be run in a window, I'm actually fine with them. I just loaded up the Windows-10-exclusive Word and Excel betas from the Store and being able to move them around the screen and resize the windows went a long way towards making me not hate using them. I might actually start going to the Store for more apps, especially if apps downloaded from it sync their settings between machines (that's a thing, right?).

Because they are basically more uniform WPF apps now. Not as powerful as WPF mind you, but still.

Ars is reporting that build 10240 is out and that it might be the RTM build.Ars Technica posted:Microsoft has made no official statement, and may not even make any official statement, but the word from insiders speaking to Mary Jo Foley is that this build has been blessed as the release-to-manufacturing (RTM) build. That is to say, it's this build that will probably be found preinstalled on PCs on store shelves on Windows 10's July 29 launch day.

Turning off UAC effectively makes any version of Windows that shipped with UAC as vulnerable to malicious programs as Windows XP is. Companies that have this as a policy will change, because the costs of maintaining corporate security / integrity with UAC off far, far outweighs the costs of determining the permissions/settings needed for snowflake enterprise apps and carving out a limited exception for them.

I have a licensing question. When you "register" to upgrade your copy of an OEM 7/8/8.1 license, does it mean that the original OEM product key will activate on a clean install of Windows 10? I remember when using the 8.1 OEM DVD on a machine with an 8 license in the BIOS, you had to use a dummy key, and then use RWEverything to extract the key stored; it then activated. Any ideas if 10 will work in the same way?
